Feeling peckish?

We visited the Queen Victoria Market in downtown Melbourne today.  What an amazing market!  If you weren't feeling hungry just now, you soon will be!  Feast your eyes on this lot!










I love markets!  I even enjoy supermarkets in other countries, probably because I love to cook and ingredients are always an attraction.  Apart from Farmers' Markets we don't have markets in Scotland which is a great disappointment to me!  Visiting Queen Victoria Market today rather heightened that sense of deprivation because although Scotland offers some of the best of British ingredients - wonderful fish, fresh and smoked, shellfish, venison, beef, grouse and other game, the best raspberries in the world, vegetables, cheeses, heather honey, the list goes on and on, we don't sell these things in a covered market such as we saw today.  The weather can't be the issue, the culture just isn't there - I don't understand it.  Anyway, food markets are a novelty for us and we certainly loved this one!

The running wave uses Blogger as it's vehicle and they are changing the way a post is created but unfortunately I cannot make the new format work. I can't progress beyond the title! I cannot navigate to the main body of the post to create text. The new template has no prompts for adding photos, weblinks, to format the text, change font etc. It may be my old MacBook that's as fault but I can't do anything about that!! Are any other IAVOM bloggers who use Blogger having the same problems? I have tried, three times, to contact Blogger through their 'Help' prompt and received no feedback or contact whatsoever. This post is using the old 'Legacy' format, which no longer permits any kind of formatting of text, and so after four attempts I have finally manage...

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.
